(from Mom)Hi Wyatt, Sorry, not writing much today. I'm sickkkkkkk.... and whiny. Walker is sitting here waiting to take me home from work, and I already turned down his offer of a Whopper Junior, no onions, with cheese, so you know how sick I must be :) I love you.... you write lots to ME today, instead of the other way around.

Love you, MomP.S. Did you get the Reese's Puffs?P.S. Make sure you write to Walker today, he is sitting herethreatening not to write to you again until he's in Spain, if youdon't.... :)

Y bueno... Qué se va a hacer... I just sent him a letter...

I did get the Reeses Puffs and have already eaten one box... They are fantastic... I received both boxes.

So the leaders of the mission went to Bahía for a leadership conference this last Wednesday and Elder Viñas, the area Seventy ,was there. It was really great. It raised my hope and excitement for the coming weeks. He stood up and the first thing he did was ask if anyone had any questions. One of the missionaries gave him a question and he just started talking, and while answering that question taught different principles that taught everyone else something. And then he said "next question" and just kept going, it was really great.

I feel really bad lately because I feel like a jerk. I think I've been kind of rude to my comp because I've been taking a lot of things personal and just getting irritated for every little thing. Whether I'm right or not, I know I shouldn't have that kind of attitude. I haven't been like this for a while and I'm going to stop because it doesn't make me happy.

The biggest desires are to make sure that we are finding a bunch of people, teaching them well and helping the branch to grow... We're working on it... :) I love you mom...!!

P.S. You asked before.... The mission is set up into specific "Zones" and in those zones there are "Districts". So we may say, that the chain of command is... Mission President- Zone Leaders- District Leaders- Missionaries (trainers and other missionaries). And sometimes the district leaders train new missionaries. And something that I just realized.. after this week I will have had 13 months as a district leader. So looks like there's still something to learn and a lot of work to do... It's nice to know that you are in a position where you can help others in their purpose... I gotta make sure I'm doing a good job.

(excerpt from Mom's letter) Shane and Wilder went to the credit union to deposit some money for you, and a woman ran into them with her car in the MACU parking lot! Shane said he was in the drive-thru, and she tried to get around him, and her side mirror crushed his tail light. And then she wouldn't give him her insurance information because she didn't want her insurance rates to go up, so he insisted on calling the police, and then she insisted on calling him names. Finally (after the police came and took a report), they exchanged insurance info, and agreed to meet over at Auto Zone, where they ordered the replacement part that he said he could install, and she paid for it, and he said he would not involve her insurance company as long as the part fit properly and everything worked out. And then he drove back to MACU and made your deposit!

That issue with the truck and the lady paying for the tail light seems like something that would happen here in Argentina. When I was going to Bahía from Santa Rosa, all of the missionary luggage on the bus was overweight and just so we didn't take anymore time so the bus could leave, the bus driver said that we could just pay the kid that loads the stuff up 60 pesos instead of 200 pesos in the office, and we were on our way.... But Shane's story is better, haha. This week we had 4 investigators from the Familia Campos... And we found more new investigators this week also.. 16... We gotta go go go go go...

This Wednesday there is a leadership conference so us four leaders are going, and apparently Elder Viñas of the 70 is coming also, so this is going to be pretty good. And then I will see if my Reeses Puffs have arrived :)We are trying to help at least 5 people to be baptized.. We could use the prayers... I hope Uncle Robert gets better. Love you Mom.. Chow!!! :)

I didn't have to go to a different website, the songs just downloaded by themselves. Thank Conner and tell him I love him :)

YES REESES PUFFS

I wrote to Walker and told him to read in Preach My Gospel... And I told him to have fun, but apply the suggestions that you give him without worrying about anything else and I told him that things would get better.

I think one of the biggest stories of the week is about my comp yesterday... He got super sick from lunch and threw it all up... We had left the house of this member and right after leaving we started teaching 3 people right next door, boom 3 new investigators, then we left heading toward the house and the whole time my comps stomach was killing him... We get to the house... he throws up. Then says he's good... So then we leave and start heading to centro and the coast where the big river is the Rio Negro. We get there and we couldn't find the person we were looking for, so we talked with a few other people but then my comp was dying... stomach hurt so bad and we were super far from the house.. So we start making our way back... and like every 10 blocks he had to sit down he was that sick... We get to the house and he just gets rid of everything... I honestly thought we weren't going to leave because he was that sick... But then he took ten minutes to get himself together and said he was ready to go...... Well let's go I said while being really surprised that he wasn't going to collapse on the floor or anything.....so then we left, visited a couple of people and then found 3 more new investigators :) It was pretty cool :) After the trials come the blessings haha... Did we ever decide why he was so sick? My companion had eaten 2 cold ham and cheese empanadas, a salad that had everything in it incuding, beets, and vinagre... Matambre (a slice of meat with eggs carrots and peppers in it, fried eggs, and cow tongue ... And some toasted bread. And juice. And all of that did him in...

That skype photo of me on the computer screen is kind of a funny looking picture in my opinion haha.. :)

I believe that I had my birthday lunch today, well that is if my comp and I don't decide to go next week too. We went to the Chinese buffet here in Viedma. I hadn't been to one since I was in Tandil, so I was really happy :) We might start a new tradition... Chinese buffet day.. no, just kidding haha.

Yeah it was a lot of fun talking to all of you. I love you all and thank you for everything... I am going to use that birthday money wisely. I have to try and manage getting some jerseys soon. If not, I'm toast...

I'm excited for the iPhone when I get home, but at the same time, I don't want to think about it hahaha... We ended the week well, we found a couple of families that were absolutely fantastic and tonight we have appointments with some pretty fantastic people also... We're really excited...

OH and I got some Christmas letters this week!!! :) From Camille and Ryan, and from Robert and Linda...

Oh and Mom, if you can send me a bunch of Reese's Puffs cereal... that would be fantastic.... absolutely incredible :) Thanks for everything mom, Love you!!
